Canteen Duty Info

Throughout the year the canteen raises funds which help to subsidise your fees. FHC membership requires you to undertake a canteen duty OR pay the required opt out of canteen duty fee of $100 prior to Round 1. For those members that selected to complete their canteen duty, please click the link below to nominate your preferred date and time.

If you do not select a time, the Canteen Manager will roster you in to an available time slot, which should not clash with your scheduled match. To ensure you are allocated to a time that suits you, please click on the above link and select your time prior to your first game.

For junior parents completing their child’s canteen duty, please add your child’s full name and team in to the comment section.

Alternatively if you have selected to pay the opt out fee, please ensure this is paid at the time of your registration for Footscray Hockey Club. Failure to confirm and complete your rostered duty (or no shows) will automatically incur a $150 charge to be paid prior to your next game.

FIXTURES & RESULTS

GOOD SPORTS CLUB

Footscray Hockey Club is a Good Sports Club which means we’re passionate about having more people enjoy our great club and sporting culture. To do that we need to create a safe, inclusive environment where everyone can get involved and do their bit. Good Sports Clubs are about helping our members and families recognise they can lead healthy and active lives by making good choices when it comes to eating and drinking. At FHC we offer healthy eating options and encourage a healthy attitude to the consumption of alcohol.

Member Protection

A Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) is responsible for providing information about a person’s rights, responsibilities and options to an individual making a complaint or raising a concern. They can also provide information and advice to sport administrators and complaint handlers with regard to the Member Protection Policy of that sport. MPIOs are generally impartial; they do not mediate or investigate complaints.

New Player?

One of the biggest hockey clubs in Australia, the Footscray Hockey Club is also one of the best.

650+ players, spread over 53 teams (winter season 2016)

Playing opportunities to suit all levels of ability (Mens, Womens, Masters & Juniors)

Senior teams from Premier League to local level ‘metro’ teams, masters teams for over 35’s, 45’s & 50’s, and junior teams from U6’s to U18’s with each age level offering shield (‘A’ grade) teams down to local ‘district’ standard teams. Mixed junior teams through to girls only teams.

We are a family oriented club, conscious of the need to provide pathways to hockey excellence but blended with a strong desire to provide a very ‘social’ environment.

WORKING WITH CHILDREN’S CHECKS

From 1 January 2017, the Child Safe Standards will apply to all sporting organisations that operate and provide sporting services to children within Victoria. Footscray Hockey Club is committed to adhering to the Child Cafe Standards and recommendations. One component of the standards is ensuring all club Volunteers & Staff who regularly work with people under the age of 18 attain a Working With Children’s Check (WWCC).

At Footscray Hockey Club we will meet government regulations for sporting clubs and ensure that people who work or engage with children under the age of 18 have a current Working With Children Card.

The following personnel in the Men’s, Women’s & Junior sections require a Working With Children Card (note: the senior section personnel also required a WWCC due to members who are U18 playing seniors).
